All I can think of is to make sure your monitor is on while booting, because the video card needs to detect a monitor to set its resolution. Otherwise, it sets to a default resolution.
This may not be your problem, but it's all I can think of suggesting.
Run msconfig (windows key+R msconfig) switch to boot tab and see if base video is checked.

It wasn't. Should it be?
